“I have worked with Debra on a number of design teams at InContext. She thinks systemically, designs for the user and is blessed with the patience and understanding needed to guide clients through the Contextual Design process. Debra is a “ducks in a row” team member. I can always count on her to make sure scheduling, resource allocation and client communication supports the work to be done.
When engaged in design discussions, Debra is eager to share fresh design perspectives and concepts. She also possesses the ability to effectively communicate to designers, engineers and executives; encouraging all minds to participate in the design. I highly recommend Debra as a valuable asset to any design team.”
